A variable x has the possible observation shown below.
Possible observation of x: -3 -1 0 1 1 2 4 4 5
a. Determine the standardize version of x (Hint: z-score)
Find the mean:: u = 1.44 ; Find the standard deviation:: s = 2.6
Find the z-value of each element using z(x) = (x-u)/s
Example:: z(-3) = (-3-1.44)/2.6 = -1.7
----------------
b. Round the values of and to one decimal
----------------
